What my Senior students say

Martin Codrington, Grandad, ex couples counsellor

"I’m really enjoying my first yoga experience at 71 years of age. I can feel the benefits already especially in my legs. I can’t do all the positions but I always try and find that I can do far more than I ever imagined. Stefania carefully watches us Yoginis and if we struggle, she sees immediately and suggests different ways for us to do the moves. There is no pressure to do anything we find difficult. Stefania is very kind and supportive."

Christine Donald

"I started practising Restorative Yoga with Stefania after I retired. The gym where we practise is very light and airy with plenty of space and all the necessary facilities. I particularly liked the series where Stefania focussed on a different part of the body each week and devised a programme to ensure we got full movement from the focussed area. I learnt a lot about my joints and muscles from this approach.

Initially I found the first 15 minutes of breathing difficult because I was used to relaxation at the end of the class. But I came to appreciate that following 15 minutes of relaxation I brought a different mindset to the class and it improved my ability to switch off to outside influences and concentrate solely on myself for an hour.

It's great fun working with Stefania, we are serious but can still have a joke and some laughter. Thoroughly recommend her classes if, like myself, you are an older person looking for a challenging, practical session of yoga."

Men who never thought they would do yoga

“As a home-based worker Stefania’s yoga classes are the perfect way for me to shake off the physical and mental stresses of spending hours sat in front of a computer.

I’ve been struggling with lower back pain and restricted hip mobility and Stefania’s yoga classes have really help to regain my flexibility and reduce my back pain.

I’d never really managed to find a yoga class that worked for me until I came to one of Stefania’s classes. They provide the perfect balance between relaxation and developing your strength.”

Pete Roythorne - Senior Marketing Manager

"I Was considering a hip replacement before discovering yoga.
Now feel stronger and not waking up with pain and stiffness since discovering yoga. Stefi is amazing and her yoga classes are life changing both physically and mentally.

I wish I had found Stefi years ago yoga as her classes have changed my life on so many levels .I draw on the practice when I find myself in stressful situations and my menopausal joint pain has improved significantly."

Private Yoga Couples' testimonials

"My husband and I started taking yoga lessons with Stefi over 6 months ago and we have enjoyed every single session. Her sessions are dynamic, fun and challenging but also allow you to go at your own pace. She pays great attention to making sure your poses are correct and encouraging yoga breathing. We spend the whole week looking forward to our yoga session and feel completely rejuvenated after each one.

We couldn't recommend her enough!"

"Stefania's knowledge of many different yoga styles enables her to create a unique lesson experience for yoga enthusiasts. She intuitively combined all of my favourite elements making the class fun, active and with the best massage in town thrown in during the relaxation part, I guarantee if you try a class, you won't look back."

Roxane Caplan - Project Manager at Save the children

"My yoga sessions with Stefania is a weekly highlight, they leave me feeling physically toned and mentally recharged. It was amazing how quickly I gained strength and muscle definition and recommend it as part of anyones weekly routine."

Sophie Hulme - Director Communications Inc

"Stefania is gifted at what she does. I've tried several well-known yoga teachers over the years and she is by far the best. Her challenging power-yoga has gradually strengthened and toned my body more than other forms of exercise have and her deep relaxation classes are the only thing that has succeeded in calming my wired brain and finding a peace of mind that I've always struggled to obtain due to a hectic lifestyle. I am addicted!"
